ARE YOU USING A TABLET!!!!!!!!!

[prorattafactor]

@charlieherbert247 Yeah, a Wacom Cintiq.

[pacmandude345]

how do you export one of these animations onto a video file?

[prorattafactor]

@pacmandude345 On Mac you would choose "File > Export > Movie...". However, if you're on Windows, you need to export an "Image Sequence" and then use another app to sequence the frames together into a video.

@Tu51ndBl4d3 Yeah, I had the same problem with a Wacom tablet many years ago. I sold it because I couldn't adjust to looking at the screen while drawing.
